The pair will be raising money for The Wallich, a leading Welsh homelessness charity, specifically fundraising for its Cardiff Shoreline Project.

Dan is the architect of the bike ride and has a personal connection to the charity. He said:

“The Wallich is a fantastic charity. My mother works for their project called Cardiff Shoreline which provides long-term supported accommodation to homeless adults who have alcohol misuse issues.

“We’d be delighted with any public support for our ride that will help tackle rising homelessness. Whether its cheering us along the way, offering us a cup of tea and a biscuit at any of our 12 stops or contributing some money to our JustGiving page, we hope it makes a difference.”

Along for the ride, Dan’s cycle-buddy Rob, who is an accountant based in Cardiff, said:

“The hardest parts of the ride are going to be navigating the tricky route and trekking through the steep inclines of the Brecon Beacons.

“I’m really looking forward to visiting The New Saints stadium the most – if Wales has an equivalent of Real Madrid, The Saints are it. Welsh football is really on the up following the success of the national team, we’re hoping our ride will spur more people on to attend regional and local games.”

Dan and Rob will be taking selfies at all 12 of their stops and you can follow their adventure on social media throughout that weekend.

The Wallich’s mission is to prevent homelessness in Wales by getting people off the streets, keeping people off the streets and creating opportunities.
